The junglearium is getting pretty amazing , i can see a nonstop livestream national geographic style comming up in the future :P keep up the good work i love it , greetings from Belgium
Hey Petko! Ecologist and also a fan here! If you want to give the trilobite beetles the best chance, you should look up plants, including trees, and bugs/ detritivores native to their habitat and see if you can introduce them to the junglearium. If they have a very specific diet, trying to accurately replicate their habitat as best as possible will help!
Deen is the tarantula nhandu crhomatus a large adult? or is it small? Saludos desde españa❤
❤❤
I hope that plant won't snack on one of those trilobite beetles...
Good luck with the breeding attempt!
Hey Petko, a plant nerd here. I just came back to check up on your Junglearium journey after a while of not watching and I'm just happy.
Some tips here so maybe I could be a part of the Junglearium history too 😎 So you know what it's missing? The waterfall part is pretty barren. I think it would be absolutely awesome to maybe get a larger anubias species and put it in the middle of the pond. With time it grows an amazing and strong rhizome and it will grow the leaves out of water, making it a true amphibious plant of the Junglearium. Anubias are pretty bulletproof plants with strong leaves and don't grow very fast so you can just throw it in and forget about it. The next absolutely beautiful genus is bucephalandra and I would just put it in the crevaces throughout the waterfall where it's the wettest. Neither anubias and bucephalandra don't need substrate, they just grow on straight up rocks and wood. Also I would remove the vallisneria (the simple long flat grass underwater) as it could just take over the pond part completely and that could be a shame (I'm in love with the pond part).
Last notes: keep your eyes on the hydrocotyle - it usually grows really fast.
Alocasias can get MONSTROUSLY huge!
And there's also more place for some air plants 😎
I'm sorry for the essay, I just am not able to shorten something I'm passionate about. Love you Petko and love this project!
I‘m fully with u and I‘m also a plant nerd. I would like to add that also his Monstera Deliciosa could get really really big:‘)
Hope u read it Petko: cause my Monstera had already after one year leaves with 50cm diameter 😂
As a aquarist I second the anubias!cryptocoryne wendtii might also be nice in the water but thats just a personal favorite of mine and ill leave it to the plant nerds to advise the picks when it comes to a set up like this. ❤
A few things to keep in mind for growing the pitcher plant (Nepenthes) from someone who has been growing advanced species for over 10 years:
The particular one that you have is an easy lowland/intermediate hybrid, so it will enjoy room temperatures and above, with higher humidity.
For all carnivorous plants, it is very important to give them a lot of light and water that is very low in dissolved minerals. You will probably have to use distilled water or reverse osmosis water for them. It's also critically important to grow them in a substrate that is low in nutrients and acidic. I prefer to use sphagnum moss and orchid bark. Whatever you do, never grow any carnivorous plant in a substrate that has fertilizer in it, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Nepenthes don't need quite as much light as other carnivorous plants, but they still need much more light than most other houseplants and orchids do. Your lights seem bright, but it's very hard to tell through a camera. As a more specific answer, if you can get access to a PAR meter, you'll want to make sure they get around 250 PAR at least. This is important for the plant to make pitchers, especially well formed and colorful ones.
If you meet those conditions, that plant will grow very quickly and easily for you.
For those cuttings that you took, I would highly recommend taking them out and putting them in their own pots in a bag or some other environment where they can be at 100% humidity. I've never had any luck doing cuttings the way you're doing it, but with the bag method my success rate is close to 100%.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to add the pitcher plants, I’d be worried about the beetles, the moths, and whatever little lizards you put in there, falling victim to them
Cool comment, thanks for sharing.
Yeah I don’t understand why he would add those
Yeah... little critters will def fall prey to those plants!!!😢
What about a mesh over them keeping other animals out and feeding them individually. (I haven't fully watched video yet but it immediately came to mind)
I want to see all those plants vs a tarantula vs the beetles
I don't think the pincher plants are gonna survive in this junglearium. It's moist enough (besides the top left one), but when the roots get to the soil, it's way too overloaded with nutrients.
The reason pincher plants make their pinchers is because the ground they trive in, has low nutrients (I keep mine in peat soil). So they get the necessary nutrients from the animals it traps.
The pinchers need to be 1/3 filled with water. I use distilled water for everything with these plants, because tapwater might contain to much calcium. Ours definitely does 😅.
Love your project so far 🫶🏼
How can you know all that and call them "pincher" plants?
@@blenderuser6728it's called autocorrect.
@@user-helloworld308 Pitcher is a word. Proof reading is also a thing.
Honestly, I don't know why everyone is so bent out of shape over this comment. We all obviously know what the original poster was saying. Pincer, pincher, picture, pitcher... We all read the post and while the word may have been incorrect, the sentiment wasn't. Stop pissing on everyone else's comments.
English is not my first language. It is possible for people to have knowledge about stuff, without being fluent in English you know... I personally don't think my English is that bad, but I'm sorry if my level of English made you question my knowledge about keeping Nepenthes plants 🤷🏼♀️
It’s ok if it’s the biggest or not really it’s ok 😅
the one you didn’t know is black pagoda lipstick plant or Aeschynanthus longicaulis to be specific
9:56 That's Aeschynanthus ‘Black Pagoda’. It's a species of lipstick vine.
bulbophyllum if you want to say it then you can think of it as 'bulb (like a tulip bulb) - oh - phyllum (like the taxonomic term)' but most people that grow orchids just call them 'bulb-oh-s'
there are actually like tropical cacti too and dragonfruit is one of them actually
Hey petko, I have virtually no expertise in the field of beetles and their diets BUT I have noticed quite a few similarities between trilobite beetles and fire fly larva. Look it up and you will see what I’m saying. Now that doesn’t mean they eat the same food but maybe they do. Fire fly larva eat snails and slugs maybe trilobite beetles do as well?
if is not too late you can send me the cuts of the plant and i'll send you back a colony of isopods armadillium of greece, I'm from Italy! :D
Those Nepenthes need to be rooted, they will just die with what you've done because they won't root like that, they are Basal shoots of the main Vine.
I just love the work you have done to your enclosure. Can’t wait till you add the animals to it. 💙
purple sword alocasia would do awesome in the junglearium. its similar to the one you have or had but it has thinner leaves and is slightly purple while it stays fairly small and grows slowly. just a random recommendation
Next step is to add big branches and logs like the one you used in the open chameleon enclosure, should give the animals areas to explore and will also add a lot of interest to the eye, specially if you plant vines and orchids on it🙃
You can put the propagated plant in your home, I’m shire it’ll look stunning ✨
praying for those trilobites!
Put betta fish into the jungle tank!!!!
the pitcher plant might die, they are picky about the soil and I don’t think when the roots grow into the soil around (his background soil) it will die. But time will tell, sometimes plants do weird stuff
I don't know enough about this stuff but wouldn't the creatures you add become dinner to some of the plants ?
They are too big atm...but in the future, it should be a functioning ecosystem, predators are required!
I would cut up the cuttings you just did and make them into smaller pieces so it's decaying matter, food for your cleanup crew
Hello great video update Petcko
Hello, thats very nice, greetings from perú, You could add millipedes
Vsauce?
Love the enclosure but I would be afraid that the pitcher plant will kill too many creatures
I found a Trilobite beetles related study and this is an extract about what they appear to be feeding on:
FOOD AND HABITS OF THE "TRILOBITE-LARVAE."
The "trilobite-larvæ" are chiefly found on or in the vicinity of big rotten logs, sometimes several near the same spot, but as a rule they do not show any tendency of being gregarious, odd larvae often being found crawling about anywhere in the jungle. They like rainy weather and are mostly found crawling around after heavy showers. The larvæ feed on the juice of decaying wood, as clearly evidenced not only by the contents of the stomach but also by direct observations. But they seem to be very particular in getting the right kind of wood. When changing food every day I had many opportunities to study their behavior. Often they crawled over the new pieces of wood put in the cage until they came to the proper kind. There they used to accumulate and I could plainly see by aid of a powerful magnifying glass that they actually were sucking the juice from the wet pieces of wood. Larvæ killed and examined some hours afterwards were found to have the stomach and intestines full of a dark mass of decayed woody products, reminding one of the material found in longi-corn larvæ.
Hope this helps in some way, keep up this gorgeous project!
The mystery plant is a kind of aeschynanthus like aeschynanthus marmoratus. The better place for it is to hanging it. Good job dude!
How are the crabs update needed
Maybe Serpa Design did
Will the pitcher plant kill the beetles
Cant wait to see the Junglearium when its completed, great vid Petko
What is the name of the plant that is spreading all over the rocks and wood etc? The one that looks like "a city of plants"
The same question from me 😁
Those trilobite beetles are so cool!
What a fantastic build love how you are not rushing to animals and actually making an ecosystem 1st
First you got me into spiders, and now you are growing carnivorous plants as well?? You are copying all my hobbies!!! XD
A nepenthes very cool plants!!
Also i have a question if someone could please answer id appreciate it. I just got a Brachypelma Emilia its DLS is 2" give or take its in a 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" container. Shoukd i rehome him or her into something a little bigger?
Wow! It's looking so awesome! My mother had a rex begonia, like the one you cut, and she had to cut it back all the time. She would get small cups or mugs from the thrift store and replant the cuttings to give away. I think at least everyone at church has one.🤣 🪴❤
I don't know about that specific type of orchid but orchids normally don't like getting their leaves wet. They'll normally turn a yellowish color if over saturated.
that why a fan is needed to circulate the air , which he does have some install at the top
@@sdqsdq6274 yep, but I also plan to add more inside to move the air periodically
You should try to plan when you trim your plants so you can sell cuttings at expos alongside your enclosures, there can never be too many plants for sale!
Absolutely LOVE this idea!!!!
The big stump (trunk?) on the left side of the junglearium kinda looks like an elephant's skull to me, does anyone else see it? :P I love how the junglearium is looking, by the way!
watchout Petko, pitcher plants and trilobite beetles aren't good combination!
How about some Utricularia graminifolia.
A carnivorous carpeting aquatic plant that feeds on infusoria and small aquatic organisms, preferring nutrient poor waters and low light conditions
Petko I've commented this before. Serpa design has a massive enclosure he built as well. You always say this and that you're the only person on RUclips who has one and to prove you wrong. I commented with a link in my last comment about this. Idk if you saw or responded to it.
Petko, all nepenthes grow after some time as vines, so when your nepenthes Bloody Mary grow bigger, you could cut in sections of 3 leafs and make cuttings to multiply the plant
Petko, you should ask in your next video if some of your viewers live in the region the trilos came from. They could send you a box of substrate and stuff from there, which you can dump in the junglearium.
Make a small compost pile inside the enclosure from excess growth. Nature recycles material.
They were found in relatively durable humus, with a fairly compact structure. Fresh and completely rotten stumps were avoided. It seems that the food is microorganisms inhabiting the wood. This theory may be additionally supported by the structure of the mouthparts of these beetles, which practically makes it impossible for them to hunt other, relatively large organisms.

oh. ok. well hopefully you have luck and we learn what the trilobites eat.
.... then breed them with males and then I'll get some.
good plan.
Those beetles might need a specific fungus to survive. They will likely starve 😢
mini game! count the amount of times plant was said in the video!
GO!
Winner gets to know they counted every time plant was said :D
Am I the only who thinks its highly improbable that all that diversity can live next to each other so tightly packed ?
I actually hope it works , cause its gonna look amazing .
Started the video waking from a nap? I'd sleep in there too.
Hey hey hey I don't know why but I never got the new vid notification so annoying I thought maybe something was wrong I can't wait to catch up !!! Oooh oooh oooh I'll be getting my first spoods very very soon I will be getting the enclosures first and set them all up this way once I get them I'll be ready I can't decide between the 3 choices so I may get all 3 lol idk
There is a guy who does both small and big versions and his name is SerpaDesigns
Always enjoy your content but miss the tarantula videos.
Cya lil future anoles nd co...great meal(s) for those carnivore plant 😉
As far as huge enclosures go have seen. Someone use an entire room in their home on youtube... Can't remember exactly who it was. But he was a reptile guy.
aeschynanthus marmoratus is the plant with the striped leaves
The waterfall part of the enclosure is looking a wee it sad. Looks like it could do with a bigger pump
You could propagate cuttings and sell them at shows so others can have a junglarium.
I've always wondered what the procedure is for a set up like yours in the event of an earthquake
Can the male beetles be identified in the wild so some can be collected & they try to be reproduced in captivity?
Why do I have a feeling the pitcher plants are an insurance policy for the beetles?
The plants called a zebra basket vine, it's a lipstick plant 🦓💄❤️
look for terrarium begonias , most of them have smaller leafs , that big leaf cane begonia should be a house plants
I believe people have found trilobite beetles eating slime molds so you might want to add some
Aren't you worried that the pitcher plant will eat the trilobite beetles?
That nepenthes looks great, keep in mind that the pitchers can eat the isopods. It should thrive in the humidity. Few tips: keep water inside the pitchers at all times, it will grow like a vine and it will need a support eventually. The duration of the day/night cycle will determine the internode spacing.
Wrong, DO NOT fill the pitchers with water.
The pitchers open already 1/4 full of digestive fluids and by filling the traps with water you're just diluting the fluid, they have lids on the traps to stop them getting full of water in the wild.
I've been growing carnivorous plants for a year now, and I mainly focus on Nepenthes.
@@TheCarnivorousChronicles That particular plant is a hybrid that includes N. ampullaria, which is a species that relies on rainwater to fill the pitchers. The other species in it will balance out that trait, but it also isn't a bad thing for it.
And even for other species, I've found that it doesn't matter that much. My N. burbidgeae has pitchers that are constantly getting filled with water from the greenhouse watering system, with no ill effects. You shouldn't do it on purpose except with a few species as the exception, but it's no big deal if the pitchers do get filled.
@@ryanspencer6778 as you mentioned, it's N. "Boody mary" (N.Ventricosa X Ampullaria) but it doesn't need rainwater to fill the traps because its a hybrid, if it was pure Ampullaria then yes you would be correct.
Just put the begonia cuttings in water and then put them in a nice pot.
unknown plant i think is a lipstick plant i don't know the scientific name
Waiting you to do a vlog about nhandu genus and feeding vids about them🤟
is it really the biggest? definetly one of the beautifulest 😎
I can't be the only one who saw the title an thot coronavirus plants 😂
I hope you'll add dwarf african frogs to your pond area
i keep the isopod with pitcher plant :V and now they all die in the pitcher plant
Will you be adding Red-eyed crocodile skinks
Can u add dwarf frogs in the water section it looks like a really good place for one
the escape girl somehow lost the lower part of her front leg timestamp 15:06.
you could sell your plants when you go to expos
Who noticed the little spider hanging out at 9:47
that big plant will have only 3to4 leaves at one time :)
A quick Google search reveals, "They feed on fresh decomposing wood, fungi and algae slime."
What kind of larvae are those in 16:35?!?
Put a male and Female red fanged wandering spider in there
Your doing so well wear did you get all the plants
The junglearium is looking amazing!
You are a very good RUclipsr.❤
That last plant 14:38 looked like a skunk 😊
Looking great Petko! 💚💚💚
Put a bag of carbon in the water, it will be crystal clear
They need a type of mold fungi
Are those moth pupae at 16:40 ???
gotta add sundews and fly traps now :D
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I miss the forbidden ant!
This video was great!❤
